    Salzburg

    September 21, 2015 in Austria ⋅ 🌙 10 °C

    Last day in Dijon and time for our longest travelling day. We have to catch a train from Dijon to Zurich which is about 7 or 8 hours. We are giving the Swill a miss as we have heard how expensive it is and how Austria is just as beautiful, but considerably cheaper. So we have a half hour to change to a train to take us to Salzburg. We made the switch without too much of a panic and then had about 4 hours to go to Salzburg.

    Our only real brush with the (mainly) Syrian refugees in the train station. There were armed forces personnel about and the refugees had a space within the train station. Trains had been stopped between Salzburg and Germany, but there didn't seem to be much disturbance that we could see.

    We got to our hotel in the evening and only had time for a bit of a walk around the area and dinner at the hotel.
